Yeah, because Robertson who is not at the table knows what is going on?
Parker is the most competent airline CEO? LMAO. On his 5th merger attempt in 5 years. Still cannot integrate US and AWA after 7 years. As I posted previously, US finances is a house of cards. Parker needs this merger badly. If it doesn't happen, watch US's stock drop like a rock! Sorry but Parker reminds me so much of another Wall Street darling -- Bernie Ebbers (former CEO of Worldcom). We all know how that turned out.
morrisunc, reading your posts makes no sense. Your suggestion for AA to retreat from NYC -- the most prized aviation market in the world is a failed strategy! Just go ask the fools at US Airways.
